My 2 days off...

I needed these days off. I was Totally drained from working the 4 days straight and doing the 2 biking rids. Sunday night i actually fell asleep at work! I never do that. I have several things to do today such as blow off the house with my pressure washer and cut the grass. IT is very high again from all the rain and fertilizer that i put on it during the early spring. I also sprayed some weed killer on it yesterday as well as bug stuff. I do not want crab-grass this year...

I need to go and get some of this work done. we have a big weekend as it is Memorial Day holiday and we are going to finish painting the other two bedrooms upstairs and get all that sorted out for company this summer. And besides, we are tired of the mess!

This morning...

Well, I got off work at ~7.15am and then proceeded to go to Powhite Park to ride bikes. Mark and my friend Mike. It was Mike's first time to ride Powhite and only his second time to ride bikes in that type of environment. Our friend Jeff called in and said that he would not be able to make it.

We started slow and went to the top so we could take him down the 1/2pipe. He really enjoyed it and then we went to some other trails and all in all, we rode about 4.5 miles! It was a good time and I found out that he was from Texas and lived in San Antonio and some other interesting facts about him. So, needless to say, we all hit it off very well!

I got home around 10.15am ad took a shower and then went to bed. When I started ridding bikes about 8-9 months ago, I weighed around 185-190 lbs. When I got on the scales Wednesday, I clocked in at 172lbs. It sounds like a Bow-Flex commercial, but I am going to be 36 in 2 months and I will be in perhaps better shape than I have been in many years. I play hard, but I get good benefits from it so I will continue.

Just Very Strange...

I saw this article while i was on FARK. I wanted to post a pic, but it looks like the computers here at work will not allow that at the moment. Here is the link to the pic: http://i12.tinypic.com/6glewkj.jpg

The family of 95-year-old Zhao from Zhanjiang city, China are hoping that doctors will be able to explain the 5 inch horn that is growing out of her forehead. Local media describes the horn as curving down "like the stalk of a pumpkin".

The mysterious growth started three years ago. "At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn. It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view," said Zhao.
